ꙮ The World Inverted ꙮ

It’s also so fascinating that like many cults the Harga appeal to the idea that they are ancient and sacred while what they’re actually practicing is actually quite anachronistic and not particularly old. I know a lot of people have spoken about how this connects to the Harga life cycle and no one being allowed to be older than 72 so anyone older wouldn’t be able to speak about what was before or how they formed. But I really noticed it during the atestupa and the pictures of the may queens. The may queen photos could be explained away by the relatively recent invention of photography (then of course you must ask why such an artistically inclined culture would not have painted or drawn prior may queens) but I think the number of bloody rune inscribed stones at the atestupa there are. Because a truly ancient culture would surely have more than a couple dozen.
